I removed a star because I started to get frustrated with Michael’s character. He was so frustrated by Philip’s nonconsensual kisses toward Stella but did the same thing at the end in an act of “love”. Stella still said no & at this point Michael was showing more toxic possesiom of her than cute, sexy posession. Also hated Michael’s little obsession with fucking a teacher. It’s not cute and sexualizes my profession 🙃 no thank you.Moderate: Sexual harassment, Ableism, Abandonment, and Medical content

Oh my gosh this was such a great sweet and spicy book!! The fmc is Asian-American and has autism and the mmc is Vietnamese-Swedish. It was so vulnerable and tender and sweet!!! I loved that it was dual POV! I love fake-dating or relationship “lessons”, and this was *chef’s kiss*. Their chemistry was off the charts. I loved how patient and understanding Michael was of her boundaries and how he literally didn’t even have to think about it, he automatically accommodated her needs and respected her boundaries. I loved seeing both of them realize that they are worthy of love, just how they are. Overall, the writing was great! There was just enough sweetness, spice, external plot, and emotional growth. I will be reading the other books in this interconnected stand-alone series!!
